From my Sketchbooks.

Shameless self-promotion: all of my London Sketches can still be found at LondonLeben. And there are more to follow. Yes there are, Konstantin.

Alias Jones & Monroe.

Peter Hein and Franz Bielmeier performing Innenstadtfront (together with Male, if I’m not completely mistaken).

Also, Peter’s book, Geht so. Wegbeschreibungen. A quote stolen from a review in the TAZ: “Selbst Magdeburg könnte seinen Reiz haben, findet sich dort doch “Zuckerbäckerstalinismus in klein, der in ein ganz entzückendes Beispiel urbaner Leere übergeht”. Die dortige “1980er-Plattenbau-Ladenstraße” lässt Hein sinnieren: “So hätte man sich ein Fallerhaus gewünscht: modern, gerade, kantig.” Doch die Stadt erweist sich schließlich als “Scheißnazidrecksnest”, was zum einzigen Zornausbruch in Peter Heins “Wegbeschreibungen” führt, einer Sammlung literarischer Miniaturen, die meist von deutschen Städten handeln.

And, a quote from Welt Online: “Diese Arschstadt [Magdeburg] entpuppt sich als genauso verschissenes Volldeppen-Scheißnazidrecksnest, wie ich es von dieser verdammten Scheißzone nie wirklich glauben wollte, aber in meinen wüstesten Angstvorstellungen immer imaginiert hatte.”

The Cartoonist Recommends.

Michael Palin, Diaries 1969-1979: The Python Years. An incredibly funny book, although it probably never was meant to be funny, because printed there are merely Palin’s diaries over ten rather important years. But the Python lunacy is in every single sentence. And Majo might be interested in those rather strange Floyd/Python/Doug Adams connections. Ah, Cambridge. Also, the book is a really fat one, twentythousendfivehundredseventythree pages, which means it’ll last for quite a while. Perfect for the Tube on your way to work: you can travel on the Circle Line for a month reading this book, never getting off, just going round in circles while reading. Perfect.

Sorry about the Lack of Posts.

But I’m snowed under with work. In the meantime brush up your Adobe CS knowledge and download some freebies. Great website.
